My background is that I suffer from intense health anxiety and have a long history of panic attacks. I do not medicate because I have an intense fear of medications. (was once given pain meds after a c section and had…
Hello I just got my pathology report from my core biopsy. I am finding resources to understanding biopsy report from surgery. Is there a line by line guide for understanding my core biopsy report?

The nurse said pathology shows er+ but pr-. HER status not yet known. This all started from a 6 month diagnostic. Pretty scared.

Not sure of the stage yet, hope to find out tomorrow during my appointment with the "team". It has not spread to my lymph nodes so that's…
